    Thanks for this podcast and the info about the change to the way Spotlight finds apps on iOS11. This was driving me crazy! I hate this new “feature” and I was one of “those people” who used Spotlight mainly as an app-launcher so this totally breaks everything for me.

    I really hope Apple wakes up and fixes this in 11.0.1
